It has been known that I am partial to a little bit of Action Force :)

It was end half of 85, people keep thinking in the wrong context with respect to these items, it wasn't Star Wars being cleared, it was part of a large clearance toysale that featured multiple product lines, including Mattel, but was made up with the majority of discontinued Palitoy lines. Large...

yep .... you got that right!!!!

trust me, there's no way you'll confuse these with originals, the weight, step marks and the pliability of what is printed are too much of a difference to confuse.

Was it IOP? I can't remember, but knew it was somewhere. IOP wasn't mine though, was it Mike Lennon who owned that?

Get yourself Gobbler, in the days before political correctness, I was told by the marketing manager for Pocketeers there was a deliberate innuendo on the packaging instructions ;)

Same here, there might be some other smaller products in trade price lists, but would need to dig them out, but yes you're right Craig, the general feeling from the other divisions within the group that I've spoken to is that they were given token scraps.

They were printed in the UK, I'm in contact with one of the former printers, I've been hoping to get him down to Farthest From for some time now :)

Don't forget there are ACTUAL reputable dealers in there too? Tim Drummond, a superb chap many of you have met selling at Farthest From has a cabinet in there too :)

It goes back much further than that, it is only recently that the community has caught up with it, but here is a photo of Henrik and I back in 2009 both promoting the values: It's origins lie in the Swedish Collectors Club a few years before that picture. It does annoy me a little that the...

Used to many moons ago

very true, but how that was handled in the first place puts that into context, first post deleted before I had a chance to amend it with the requested details when I said I would. Also I'm not the one that is dredging up the first and only sales post I've ever made, which kind of comes back to...
